Flutter

Plugin SDK Version 0.1.6

This guide is intended for Publishers looking to monetize applications developed in Flutter for either iOS or Android platforms.

After this simple integration process, Start.io In-App Ads enables you to reap the benefits of Start.io's In-App monetization products, which maximize the revenue generated by your application. All this profit-making is achieved with minimal effort and minimal interference with your users’ experience.

Getting Started

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  startapp_sdk: '<LATEST_VERSION>'

Install the package from the command line: 

flutter pub get

Android Specific Setup 

Mandatory

Add your App ID to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file by adding the <meta-data> tag shown below. You can find your App ID in the Start.io Portal. For android:value, insert your App ID in quotes, as shown below.

<!-- TODO replace YOUR_APP_ID with actual value -->
<meta-data
    android:name="com.startapp.sdk.APPLICATION_ID"
    android:value="YOUR_APP_ID" />

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Replace YOUR_APP_ID with your own value provided in the developers’ portal.
To find your application ID, click on the "My Apps" tab on the left pane and choose the relevant ID from your app list:

Optional

Return Ads are enabled by default. If you want to disable them, add another <meta-data> tag into AndroidManifest.xml file.

<!-- TODO Return Ad controlled by the android:value below -->
<meta-data
    android:name="com.startapp.sdk.RETURN_ADS_ENABLED"
    android:value="false" />

Splash Ads are enabled by default. If you want to disable them, add <provider> tag into AndroidManifest.xml file with another <meta-data> tag nested in that provider as shown below.

<!-- TODO Splash Ad controlled by the android:value below -->
<provider
    android:authorities="com.startapp.flutter.sdk.${applicationId}"
    android:name="com.startapp.flutter.sdk.StartAppFlutterHelper"
    android:exported="false">
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.startapp.sdk.SPLASH_ADS_ENABLED"
        android:value="false" />
</provider>

Initializing the Plugin

Get an instance of StartAppSdk by calling its default constructor. It is safe to call this constructor multiple times - you'll get the same singleton instance.

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
    var startAppSdk = StartAppSdk();
}
